OLMSTED FALLS -- Toss out the Tostitos. Ring in a New York appearance and TV show.

Bulldog grad Jessica Kemock, now known theatrically as Jessica Joy, has two acting venues going.

Kemock, who has done national commercial spots with Tostitos, McDonald’s and others, is one of five women in “My Life Is A Joke.” It is on the Oprah Winfrey Network and premiered Jan. 6. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at stand-up and sketch comics at different points in their careers. The initial showing has her on stage, following her to and from her “Saturday Night Live” audition, talking about her bout with cancer and sharing time with the other women on the program. It may turn into a series.

Jessica also is part of “50 Shades — The Musical” cast that was an off-Broadway show. A Chicago-based improv ensemble created the spoof of the run-away book. The show played to sold-out crowds in New York and New Jersey. It may see a tour, but for now, Jessica remains in New York to work with her agent on the next part of her career.

Parents Lude and Mary Kemock, who live in Olmsted Township, said they are “immensely proud” she is working in the field she loves.

“I have not ever know someone with such resilience as Jess . . . to work an industry where everyday you have to “sell yourself,” to keep what you love and believe in first and foremost and to accept the critique with such graciousness is one of her gifts. She has never given up and plans to work it til the end,” Mary said. “We know she will make it . . . and we feel very blessed and fortunate to be able to be there and help her along the way.”

Best of luck to Jessica — and her sister Kathleen Kemock, now kClare Kemock, a talented costume designer in Chicago, who is doing very well in her chosen field.

OPENINGS— The Olmsted Falls Parks and Recreation Board has openings for members who must be city residents.
